[Jitendra Hydonus]

The most important part of the triangle of calmness, sweetness and happiness is calmness.
No matter what comes in our life we are calm and detached and not so involved. then we can be sweet. it naturally falls in your lap. so don't let the world cheat you. we've conditioned  ourselves in restlessness. it is best to be in outer stillness so we can have and create the inner stillness. the environment is very important because the world is very restless. when I was at Hidden Valley I became more more calm because there is such a balanced life there.

look for the good in everything Guru always  saw the Divinity in others he could be the presence of a criminal and still see that divinity. See the good by working out your differences. being attached is the result of doing things only one way-our way- we are in trouble when that happens. I remember once making some pies at srf. Most of the people liked them. There were sa couple monks that said: that's just not the way to make pie. But I said nothing. Why should it matter?  There are hundreds of ways to make a pie.
